About John Atkins

There is no evidence that a "John Atkins" has any connection to the daughter Alice Atwood who married John Stevens. I think we should turn him into a "NN' profile and detach his parents.

The parish records and evidence for Alice Atwood was presented in:

  1. George A Moriarty FASG. "Stevens of Newbury and Andovre, Mass." in NEHGR (1931) 85:396-401
  2. John Insley Coddington FASG, "The Search for WIlliam Isley of Newbury, Massachusetts," in The American Genealogist (1985) 34:164-68
  3. John Insley Coddington in "William Ilsley and his wife Barbara Stevens," in The American Genealogist (1974) 50:61-2

Nothing has ever been discovered about her parents or siblings.

The supposed children were yeoman and shoemakers but the supposed parents shown in many trees include Elizabeth Bourchier and several other royal descendants? This isn't genealogy it is fantasy.
